Combo Deck Outlook

New 22 Oct 2012 Asked by albino--penguin 5 Comments

Combo, at least lately, seems to only exist when an interaction slips through the cracks (Splinter Twin/Deciever Exarch being the obvious example). Is there any hope we'll see more directly pushed combo decks in the future (albeit more fragile than previous incarnations)? There's kind of a neat Galvanic Alchemist/Axebane Guardian interaction currently, but nothing really interesting.


R&D doesn’t push combo decks. What we do is make open-ended cards and the nature of the system creates combo decks. We then try to crack down on them in broader formats with more cards if we think they are speeding up the game too fast or making things to non-interactive.
